194 Lu Corporation Press Conference - Part 3
Wednesday continued …
"After having a long discussion with my wife, and talking to my father CEO Lu, I have decided that it is appropriate that I resign my position as Vice-CEO of Lu Corporation.While my actions last night were protective for my wife and unborn child, I can see for most people they were over the top.I cannot allow my concerns for them become a bad influence on the company."
"Whether or not I return at some time in the future will be a decision for my father, CEO Lu.Meanwhile, with the assistance of my wife, I will be dedicating my time initially to ensuring the full establishment of the charitable initiative announced by my wife and I, so in the long term it can become fully self-supporting and sustainable.Once that is done, I will then step back from it.Thank You."
With that Lu Jinhu stepped back, and his father stepped up to the podium to continue.
"Thank you, son.Members of the press, I must admit my initial thoughts about last night\'s incident were similar to that most people had, that of shock.However, subsequently I have had the time to speak at length to my son and daughter-in-law.My daughter-in-law for weeks has lived in terror with what Miss Jones might do to her, my son, their child and their marriage."
"The mental pressure has been such that, as she indicated she felt that she was about to have a break-down.Miss Jones obsessively chased my son when they met at university and trapped him into a relationship threatening to spread lies about his actions to ruin him if he left her.It was only with the support of my daughter-in-law, that he felt free to break away from the toxic relationship that Miss Jones had trapped him in."
"However, she has not been able to let go, despite her apparent new relationship with CEO Hou.I believe that she is using CEO Hou to humiliate my son and daughter-in-law.To echo the words of my son, and even though Lu Corporation is in friendly competition with Hou Enterprises all I can hope is that CEO Hou will quickly see through this evil woman and get her out of his life."
"While I cannot, as the CEO of Lu Corporation condone the actions of my son and daughter-in-law last night, particularly given his role as Vice-CEO, I can only applaud him for not only stepping up to explain his actions, but for considering Lu Corporation over and above any career for himself."
"In resigning as he has my son has shown his commitment to the company\'s well-being and the protection of its employees.From a business perspective, this is the right decision, however I hope he will remain for the rest of this week and next week, to enable us to transition to a temporary Vice-CEO.We will, as from tomorrow commence the recruitment process for a permanent replacement.This will be an international search."
"However, and before you think that I am cruel, I want to make this point.While I cannot condone what happened, I have spoken to my son and daughter-in-law at length over what has been happening for a period of time."
"Given all the information they have provided me, and which I will not be making public to protect innocent people in this situation, I can understand my son\'s desire as a husband and father-to-be to protect his family.Most of us, if you had the information, I have would be the same.It simply was an overreaction in pursuit of that goal that has resulted in us being here today."
"I issue now a challenge to Miss Jones.Cease your actions towards my son and daughter-in-law.You are a lawyer, and you should be upholding the law, however you are acting to stalk and harass them.Hand over to my son the items that you agreed in orders to provide my son when your relationship with him ended, drop this stupid appeal and ask the court to reinstate the orders that you are trying to overturn."
"Leave us alone, admit you are using CEO Hou, and leave this country.If you do not, personally will I support my son and daughter-in-law in pursuing you.As your actions are now harming Lu Corporation, as its CEO we will pursue you as well for damages and penalties for the harm you have caused."
CEO Lu turned around and quietly nodded to Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, who knew that the needed to leave.He then turned back to face the press "Now my son and daughter-in-law are leaving, I will open up the floor to questions.Who has questions?"
With that, almost every member of the media there shot a hand up, wanting to ask question of CEO Lu.The media pack was scanned and a friendly member of eh press was chosen to ask the first, pre-planned question.
"CEO Lu, can you further explain the challenge you have issued to Miss Jones?" ....
